    If the two old Rivals had faced off, at Middle weight, in 1987??
    Sugar Ray fresh from his win over Marvin.
    Tommy all set to fight for a Middleweight Belt.
    Who takes it??

    It would be like their bout in `89 at 168 except both fighters were quicker at 160, I feel Hearns was better in the heavier weight classes than Ray and there`s no way Ray could have beaten Hearns using the tactics he used v Hagler.

    My thoughts exactly Mark!
    At Middle, Tommy beats Sugar. Or at least gets a draw.
